Merge tag 'driver-core-6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1.
  Nothing major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups
  and some tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will
  come back in a safer way next release cycle.

  Included in here are:

   - more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes

   - fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior

   - kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions

   - cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
     systems that add topologies and cpus after booting

   - other minor changes and cleanups

  All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
  maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
  in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
